Codesign Framework

Codesign is a research framework and approach which emphasizes the co-creation of research objectives, methodologies, data collection, and dissemination among researchers, educators, and technology developers. Our belief is that when power is shared in the research and development of innovative products, these solutions have the potential to be liberating approaches to education.

“Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people–they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress.”

-Paulo Freire

This framework is intended to give practical tools to support school communities, technology developers and researchers working to co-create innovative solutions to education’s toughest challenges.


What is Codesign?

Codesign governs the way that two or more groups interact with each other to achieve a shared goal. It’s a process that allows different stakeholders to collaborate and solve shared problems through research. In the case of Leanlab Education, those groups are schools, technology developers, and researchers.
